    As someone who has annoyed family for decades by whistling along with music I love, I think Molly is gifted beyond words. There's just something that sends my spirit soaring to join along in whistle with classical music, church music, or really anything uplifting. I even have a parrot, one of the lesser-talented in talking, that I have taught a number of whistles. Break a leg, Molly!

    When I was a girl I didn’t want to eat the nearly burnt crust from the over baked homemade bread. My grandmother told me if I did someday I’d be able to whistle- I too can whistle any tune! Years later as a mother of 4, I would call my children in from play to our house in the woods by whistling a special tune that I call them with. I adore this segment! And am amazed by her talent! I read once a statistic that only 1 in 9 women can whistle. This lovely lady certainly is talented. Oddly my children know that I go nowhere with my chapstick either and tease me about it!😗👍😊🌸

    **The Whistler.**
    Her smile is like the sunrise over a mountain stream ...
    It glistens with each droplet of pure trickling water, it shines and gives me warmth which could last a lifetime.
    Her eyes are as the Northern Lights are in the black of the sky.
    They bring a splash of colour and light up my heart. They create colours all of their own.
    Colours that can not be replicated, not by an artists palette, nor by nature.
    I could love this lady over a thousand mornings, for a thousand sunsets, under a million stars...
    ..all of them shining, just for you, Molly.
    Shining,
    just,
    for you.
